The Order of the Secret Monitor, which developed from a still more ancient Degree, is the Brotherhood of David and Jonathan and is in its way older than Freemasonry itself. Its principles and its watchwords being founded upon those grand examples set by two worthy Hebrew Princes around 1000 BC as recorded in the Jewish history of the Bible.

This order, also known as the Brotherhood of David and Jonathon, is framed upon the principles of self-sacrifice; of mutual trust, watchful Brotherly care; of warning in time of danger; solace in time of sorrow; and skilful and effective friendly advice in every circumstance of life.

The Order of the Secret Monitor is open to all Master Masons who are financial members of a regular Craft Lodge recognised by the several Australia Grand Lodges covering the jurisdiction of the Grand Council of this Order.

Only two English Conclaves of the order remain in New Zealand but there are a number of New Zealand Conclaves.
